Post Office Affairs.

B. G.. Howe is reported as saying
that the post Office will be moved into
his new block when it is completed.
No stir seems to be making on the part
of the recipients of more than one-half
of the mail that comes to this village
to prevent the change of base, though
some declare that if the removal is
made branch Office will be opened on
the Plain. The only consolation for
those who live and do business in the
west half of the village is the proba-
bility that free delivery may be secur-
ed by consolidation of all the offices
in one. The business of the office dur
ing the quarter which closes to-day
will furnish something substantial on
which to base estimates when it shall
be figured up. Postmaster Bowman
says that the business of the first
month of the quarter was at the rate
of the required $4,000 year. Could
this be maintained for IL months the
question would be settled.

AMONG THE DOCTORS.
The semi-annual session of the Yer
mont state medical society was held
in the parlors of the st. JOhnsbury hO-
tel Thursday and Friday of last week,
DR.. S. T. Brooks of st. JOhnsbury
president, and DR.. d. C. Hawley of
Burlington, secretary. The opening
session Thursday included prayer by
Rev. F. E. Dawson of st. JOhnsbury,
the reading of the records of the last
annual meeting by the secretary, re-
port of the councillors by DR.. H.. S.
Browne of st. Johnsbury, election of
new members eight in number, among
them DR.. III. L. Newell and DR.. Ernest
Hartshorn of this place, and the recep-
ton of DR.. Foster as delegate from the
Maine state medical society. In the
afternoon session papers were read by
DIR. HI. III. Atwater of Burlington, re-
porting IL cases of Placenta Previa in
private practice, DR.. Tinkham of Bur-
lington on the new Bergeon treatment
of Phthisis and other pulmonary dis
eases by enema of sulphuretted hydro
gen gas and by DR.. S. t. Brooks of ST.
Johnsbury on some practical points in
the treatment of acute PeretOnitis as
illustrated by report of a recent case.
All these papers were followed by in
teresting discussions on the several
topics and referred to the committee
on publications. The evening session
was occupied by the address of the
vice president, DR.. r. H. Johnson of
West Concord; it was an amusing re-
sumo of old-time treatment of disease
by star gazers, astrologers and their
numerous progeny of moon struck
wiseacres. The remainder of the
evening was given up to the enjoy
ment of the reception given by Dr.. H.
S. Browne to the members and their
friends at his residence on Main street.
1t was very enjoyable occasion.
Only one session was held on Fri
day, devoted to the reports of cases of
interest, their discussion, the appoint
ment of committee to revise the con-
stitution and bylaws of the society to
report at the next annual meeting in
October, etc, etc. The number of
physicians in attendance was 30 and
the entire session one of practical val

cars that are to run on the Canadian
Pacific and Boston & Lowell between

apartments at both ends somewhat
similar to those on the sleeping cars
and every method for keeping out the
heat and dust in summer and cold in
winter is adopted. The car bears the
familiar "BOston Concord & Montreal
Air Line" on the upper side and at
one end "BOstOn & LOwell' and at the
other Canadian Pacific" The new
night sleepers are correspOndingly ele-
CANT being fitted up with more COM
forts than nine out of ten who ride in
them ever enjoy at home. When COM
pleted there are to be four trains Of
new cars to correspond, two day and
two night trains. Those who live
along the line of the Passumpsic never
enjoyed so many privileges in the
matter of railroad travel as they enjoy
to-day.
